that I actually saw Valentines Cards and stuff in the store when I went shopping today. Has anybody else seen this whilst out shopping or is this just native to Ontario, Canada where I live. I know we've had tons of snow but are the stores expecting us to hibernate for the next two months. Just wish hubby was more romantic to appreciate this stuff. Amanda

Hi Amanda. We get Easter Eggs in our supermarkets into the first or second month of the New year in Australia. Febuary is normally the hottest month of the year in most States, and can easily reach temps, up to 43c. ( 110 F. ) in the colder States, let alone up North where it can reach mid to high 40s. Some people do buy them!!!! Can you imagine what these look like after sitting in your car while your doing your shopping around town. Crazy. Tony Oz.

Hi Amanda, Heard on the radio today that several Safeway supermarkets in the Melbourne area are selling Hot cross Buns, I hate to think what they will taste like by Easter. Commercialism gone mad I think. Pat in Australia.
